The quality ofdrivers is also crucial to prevention of accidents.The driving schools,therefore,play a key role in producing skilful drivers who could meet the internationalstandards.  \n1.3 Following are the progressive details of availability /registration etc.,ofvehicles (both transport and non-transport)in our State in the past few years:-  \n\n| SI.No.   | Year   | of  \u003Cbr>No.  \u003Cbr>non-  \u003Cbr>transport vehicles  \u003Cbr>registered   | No.  of transport  \u003Cbr>vehicles registered   | Total   |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1   | 2001-02   | 52,25,991   | 4,32,106   | 56,58,097   |\n| 2   | 2002-03   | 57,51,589   | 4,57,448   | 62,09,037   |\n| 3   | 2003-04   | 62,80,301   | 4,72,172   | 67,52,473   |\n| 4   | 2004-05   | 69,09,818   | 4,93,926   | 74,03,744   |\n| 5   | 2005-06   | 76,40,624   | 5,81,106   | 82,21,730   |\n| 6   | 2006-07   | 84,95,295   | 6,08,325   | 91,03,620   |\n\n1.4 Thus,it can be seen that about an average of 7 to 8 lakh vehicles thatare being added every year and even assuming 10%vehicles that might be goingoff the road due to age,wear and tear etc.,atleast 7.5 lakh vehicles are gettingadded every year.This means taking the ratio of drivers to the vehicles as 1.5:1we should be issuing a minimum of above 10(Ten)lakh new driving licensesevery year.However,an average of 6 lakh licenses per annum alone are beingissued.Therefore,there appears to be a large number of not formally trained orunlicensed drivers operating on the ground.About 1650 driving schools arepresently available in Tamilnadu and going by their capacity they could ","cbCaivfacdCGHZqG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivfacdCGHZqG","pdf",10950367,43,"English","# Establishment and licensing framework\n## Legal basis under Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and CMV Rules, 1989\n# Need for improved driving school training\n## Driver-to-vehicle demand and license issuance gap\n# Quality and infrastructure concerns\n## Insufficient equipment and training capability\n# Accident data and safety focus\n## Predominance of driver fault or negligence","[{\"question\":\"What legal provisions are cited for regulating driving schools?\",\"answer\":\"The guidelines reference the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (Section 12) and the C.M.V.
